Bleed System, Fits SeaStar Hydraulic Steering

Good product. May require modification. The y portion with the tee and check valves had too short of a hose for the bleeders causing the line to kink. I had to replace 1 of them. Also, they use metal crimps instead of hose clamps. Fine if it doesn't require modification. Not as fine if they have to be removed. Lastly, I'd like the option to specify the return line length. Overall, I'd buy again. It does take about 3 days to get all the air out if you cut lines for autopilot install.

Just used this kit after replacing the end cap seals. This is a well thought out system and simplifies the bleeding of your hydraulic lines, cylinder, and helm pump, it is a very clean, fast, and easy to use.
I do wish that the hose on the bottom of the tank which fills the helm pump was a bit longer, maybe 12".

Awesome product. Very easy to use, gets the job done quick and works great. I bought this kit several years ago and don’t normally take the time to write reviews, but I had a great customer service experience with these guys recently and decided to leave my review. I broke one of the quick connects this past week and got online to order a replacement. I emailed support to make sure I was getting the right part. They went to the trouble of looking up my original order, determined I was under a warranty that I didn’t know I had, and sent me a replacement part. Completely unexpected and awesome service. If there were more companies out there like these guys we’d be in pretty good shape.

An amazing product, works flawlessly.

Solid piece of equipment! Easy to use, no spills, easy cleanup!

Works very well. We have a marine service shop and did it with ease. We do have to be EXTRA CAREFUL with oil,most of our work is bass boats,so oil and carpet don't mix. I had the choice to buy the power purge or this 1. As far as mess, this is the better of the systems in so many ways, you guy do make nice service tools ????, like to see a dealer cost. For the amount of different types needed, gets expensive. On that , they are worth there benefit to cost

It would have been nice to supply instuctions, I did watch the youtube video, however still nice to have something printed in front of you to glance at. One of the lines was split where it met the barbed end of the connector. By the time I noticed I had quite a bit of fluid all over the back of the boat. Something not mentioned, should all the lines be drained after use prior to prolonged storage?

I rarely leave reviews. This is the exception. I had to bleed the air out of the system after replacing a bunch of steering components. I’ve always dreaded this. I could never get 100% of the air out. Covered in hydraulic oil and chasing bubbles, I would curse to the heavens, shaking my fists, and screaming “there has to be a better way!”. I ask our digital overload, Google, for remedy. I was blessed with pages on power purge jr....could this be it ? Scroll down...$1,000? NOPE! Then all of a sudden, marine tech tools appeared like a biblical character with a five gallon blue bucket. I wipe my weary eyes, forgetting I have hydraulic fluid all over my arms, I screamed in agony and glory. After washing my eye balls out, I ordered it straight away. :::actual review::: connected this right up, used the slim wrench, hung the reservoir, and watched the bubbles be exorcised from my steering system. I highly recommend this system. I can see this being great for fluid changes as well.
Disclaimer, you might not have the same religious experience I did, but you might.

Excellent product, well made, very clean operation to bleed, well thought out. Also purchased puller to change seastar seals- Don't even think about doing this job without the pullers- Also purchase seal wrench which attaches to a ratchet- very well made- Overall I give Marine Torch 6 stars
